I would imagine that they have a deliberate policy of not offering season tickets for the new corner until they see how things pan out at the start of this season. Part of the new corner is being used as an extension to the existing family area - they will need to work out just how many new seats will be occupied by family area groups before they can decide how may ordinary season ticket seats can be offered in the new corner.
The other thing to consider is that part of the reason they built the new corner was to offer people who pay by the game a better chance of buying seats together with friends. So that would suggest there will not be many non family area ST seats in the new corner.

It's for anyone if you quote the code to that bloke I think. Ask for a refund from the club! ring up and quote 'Arsenal JUNIOR football ticket offer' I think the clue is in the Junior bit, a beer swilled dad and his 20 odd year old chauffer might not cut it Try it.

Not moaning just asking why we have so many seats left,the moaning was fans saying they could not get seats,the club has provided more seats the moaning fans have runout of another excuse. They're moaning about the late signing of BMI. One of the twats on Facebook was moaning about MH signing players then not playing them, til he was reminded that the paperwork wasn't submitted before the deadline for the Everton game. Then he moaned about that. Moaning Stokies always moaning. Maybe we should have a look at the whingers and knicker wetters, see if they live in stoke on Trent, then see where the glass half full live, maybe this huge black cloud is at stoke, and living there is the problem.

When we can put a team together and have some spirit the seats will be full . Let's be honest the last game vs Arsenal was hardly likely to help put bums on seats , especially as there is no real sign that this one will be any different . They don't like it up em but we don't have that in our locker now .

I could make the obvious quip too - wont tho The 300 seats left comment was due to him misunderstanding how the system works. There were 300 seats left on the online booking system. BUT - Big BUT - the ticket office has separate batches of seats to sell to the seats which can be booked online. I suspect seats are released to the online system several times during the sale period so, at any particular time there may only be a few hundred available online.

still be near as a sell out on the day
Im just done with these negative knuckle dragging dullards and 'nare do wells' trying to argue EVEN NOW
after the event, we should not have extended the ground a few measly hundred seats to a 30k + capacity
the stupidity of this argument as was before, continues unabated it seems
just how fucking stupid is such an assertion even now ? *
* my point
have people even seen the ground right now ? - its looking finished off now now
its layout is balanced, has symmetry
its looking magnificent even
and no doubt, a credit to Stoke Upon Trent and , our football club !!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm delighted we have extended the ground - about time too. And it is looking good. But my previous post was making the very valid point that the guy who said we had only 300 seats left (at the time he posted) was well wide of the mark, as only a percentage of the total seats on sale are shown as on sale to online purchasers. I hope we sell out - and I am not saying we won't - but the number of seats for online sale means nothing - until, of course, than number is zero.

Wasnt having a go at you - you are a reasoned and well respected poster to my eyes
the dumbasses Im referring to, aren't too hard to spot mind
seems the only way is negative to some folk, as regards anything to do with our club right now
this is a success story we should be embracing.
We now need to reflect this expansion on the pitch and, have a much better season than last time around
there ARE inherent risks in our transfer policy right now too but one things for sure - the clear out so badly needed, is now well underway.
As for Hughes - I wanted him out last summer but am prepared to give him another chance and, the way the club are addressing its transfer dealings in the utter madness of todays transfer market, is to my eyes entirely predictable and perhaps well judged even.

If that is the case, someone could check online and not purchase, because some desk ticket staff have "blocks" of seats that they separately control. If SCFC doesn't operate a real-time system then they are either making it harder for them to sell all or, are putting fans in a position of having to scurry about finding which channel has the tickets - all very likely at the last minute.

Agree. It's largely single seats online so if they're keeping better seats for the telephone/walk ups then that's just plain daft and extremely confusing....

I can't understand why there would be a need for split tickets for a home game. I thought if people rang up then the person at stoke would just log into the stadium planner and offer the choice that is available online to anyone that logs into SCFC Direct. Is there a reason why they need to split them ?

linkCity set to welcome biggest ever crowd to the bet365 Stadium... STOKE CITY can reveal that they will break their record attendance at the bet365 Stadium when Arsenal visit North Staffordshire tomorrow evening. The Potters have already sold more tickets than the previous record of 28,218 which was set for the FA Cup tie versus Everton on 5th January 2002. The new record attendance is a result of the newly-constructed South East corner of the stadium over the summer which has increased capacity to over 30,000. A limited number of tickets are however still available for the fixture if you wish to be part of a historic moment in the Club’s history.

It shows a realtime view - but only of those seats which have been released for online sale. It has always been that way since we went to online sales. For example - let's suppose that for a match there are 5,000 seats available for home fans without season tickets. If you go online at midnight on the date the online sales start, you will probably see 1,000 seats available distributed over all the stands. The Other 4,000 will be available to buy at the ticket office when that opens. Then, as online tickets are bought, more tickets will be removed from the ticket office list of tickets for sale and moved to the online list. Same with away tickets. If we have 3,000 tickets then you will probably find about 500 for sale online when the online system opens.

Well, I have no reason to doubt what you say but what you describe seems to be an over-complicated approach adopted by the club. It seems somewhat Heath-Robinson, when both the online purchaser and the proxy purchaser (staff interrogating the doubtless same online system for the face-to-face sales) could simply make choices simultaneously in real-time. It's good to know that we have a false presentation online.

It's good to know that we have a false presentation online. One reason probably is that when tickets go on sale they go on sale at midnight for online sales and when the ticket office opens for telephone and in person sales. So, if all the tickets were released to the online system, then they might all be sold out before the ticket office opened. And this happens every day that they are on sale as the ticket office is only open for 10-12 hrs per day whilst the online sales happen 24 hours per day. It is the safest way to allow a fair distribution between the ticket office and online AND allow online to operate 24 hrs per day.

Does anyone know why tickets are not available in the new corner for all games after the manchester united game . I thought it was going to be easier this season for people without season tickets who cant go every week.

I thought it was going to be easier this season for people without season tickets who cant go every week. It's seriously annoying. Fill the corner in to allow people to get seats together that aren't on the front couple of rows, and then don't let them buy the tickets. I asked the Ticket Office what the plan was and to be honest they hadn't got a clue they just fobbed me off, be good if the Supporters Council could get the club to inform us what their long term aim is as it's all a bit confusing......

I think they are just opening the new corner for the glamour club games.
I phoned the club first thing on the morning that tickets were on sale to the general public for the Bournemouth game as I wanted 4 tickets together, (don't get at me, I live in Spain!) and that block still hadn't been opened online. I was told there were no plans to open the corner so was offered inferior tickets elsewhere.
Would the club rather have a full ground apart from a spanking new block for the non-glamour teams or open everything to the public and at least give themselves the chance to put bums on those expensive new seats?

It's a bit strange how they're doing things, it looks like they're trying to sell as many seats as possible in the rest of the ground before they put the corner on sale. I can't imagine them keeping the corner closed for any games.

But why would you not allow fans who want decent seats together and are happy to pay full price first dibs on the new corner? It's absolutely mental.......
